Telehouse Canada has appointed Atsushi Kubo as president and CEO, effective immediately.

Kubo enters the role after holding the EVP and COO position at Telehouse Canada, which he took on in 2023. Kubo succeeds Satoshi Adachi.

Prior to his time at Telehouse, he worked for parent company KDDI, and Telehouse Europe, as head of product and business development.

According to Telehouse Canada, Kubo was "instrumental" in identifying and leading "the acquisition that positioned Telehouse Canada for long-term success."

The acquisition in question was Telehouse's purchase of three data centers from Allied Properties Reit in the summer of 2023. The company paid CA$1.35 billion (US$1.02bn) for the portfolio, which comprises freehold interests in 151 Front Street West and 905 King Street West, and a leasehold interest in 250 Front Street West. It does not include 20 York Street, the site for Union Centre.

"I am honoured to step into this role and to have the opportunity to lead a dynamic team dedicated to delivering premier solutions and services to the Canadian market. As we continue to innovate and grow to meet sector demands, our priority will be ensuring Canadian businesses can leverage the benefits of superior colocation and best-in-class connectivity services," said the new CEO, Kubo.

“It has been a privilege to lead Telehouse Canada during this period of transformation and growth,” said former CEO, Adachi. “I am confident that under Kubo’s leadership, the company will continue to strengthen its position in Canada’s data center and connectivity landscape.”

Telehouse Canada has not shared what Adachi's future plans are.
